Removing Grease Spots.

There are several effectual means of
taking out grease spots. Chloroform
will do it. So will salt dissolved In alco-
hol. So will an equal mixture of alco
hol, gin and ammonia. Or you can wet
the place with ammonia water; then lay
white, soft paper over it and iron with
hot iron. Or rub French chalk on the
wrong side; let it remain a day; split q
visiting card, lay the rough side on the
spot and pass warm iron lightly over it.
Or try the old-fashioned ''grease balls, p"
a stiff paste made of fuller's earth, sal
eratus and strong vinegar, nodded into
balls and dried. Wet the spot, scrape
the ball over it, let it dry, and then wash
it off with tepid water

Lemon Juice.

Lemonade made from the juice of the
lemon is one of the best and safest drinks
for any person, whether in health or not.
1t is suitable for all stomach diseases, ex-
cellent in sickness, in cases of jaundice,
gravel, liver complaints, Inflammation OF
the bowels and fevers. 1t is a specific
against worms and skin complaints The
pippins crushed may be used with water
and sugar and taken as drink. Lemon
Juice is the best anti-scorbutic remedy
known. 1t not only cures this disease,
but prevents it. Sailors make daily use
of it for this purpose. I advise every one
to rub their gums with lemon Juice to
keep them in healthy condition. The
hands and nails are also kept clean,
white, soft and supple by the daily use
of lemon instead of soap. 1t also pre-
vents chilblains. Lemon is used in in
termittent fevers mixed with strong, hot,
may be cured by rubbing the part
affected with cut lemon. 1t is valuable
also to cure warts, and to destroy dan
druff on the head by rubbing the roots
of the hair with it. 1t will alleviate and
finally cure coughs and colds, and heal
diseased lungs, if taken hot on going to
bed at night. It's uses are manifold, and
the more we employ it internally and
externally the better we shall find our
selves. Lemon juice, according to a
writer in Good Health, is anti-scorbutic,
useful in removing tartar from the teeth,
anti-febrile, etc. A doctor in Rome is
trying it experimentally in malarial fevers
with great success, and thinks it will in
time supersede quinine. Peoples Friend.

THE IMpS TURNED OUT

One OF the Most Disgraccful
Affairs Ever Recorded in
Navarro County.
[Corsicana Journal, July 27.l

On last night Rev. w. S. Danley, a
minister. whose character as man
and minister cannot be assailcd or
gainsaid, a man in whom no more
conservative can be found, and yet
an earnest advocate of the cause Of
right, as minister held as one
of the ablest and best in this great
State,-acording to published ap-
pointment went to Rushing school
house to deliver talk on the pro-
posed amendment. A good audi
ancc was present, both sides were
represented. Mr.. Danley spoke about
one hour, wncn Rev Wood, the anti
advocate appeared and demanded
an opportunity to reply in half
hour speech. HIS demand was
granted, with the understanding
that MIR. Danley have 10 minutes 10
close in.
Rev. Danley spoke in mild and
conservative way, saying nothing to
offend the most delicate opponent in
the audience. Mr.. Woods followed in
his half hour, making the most con-
servative and mild talk which he has
made during the campaign.
At the close Of Rev. Woods speech
Rev. Daney arose to make the closing
talk. Here the most disgraceful af-
fair Of the campaign began. The
rabblc element of the antis got their
numbers together and began the
throwing of missiles, stones and eggs,
a perfect showerof which covered the
speaker. besmcarcd his vesture, put
out the lights and broke up the meet
ing in the most disgracefui way
imaginable. Not content with this,
some of the bolder sort of these vile
outlaws began firing six-shooters,
making the night hidcous.

such horrible brutal and devilish work

more so when the attack such, high,

1t seems that the time has come
when the devil himself is aroused
and for fear that he will be dethroned
he has put TO worg every hell-bound
and is straining every nerve to gain
the victory.
We appeal to every sober intelligent
reasonable man either anti or pro. to
help ferret out and put to shame every
man who has or will engage in such

WE are glad to publish bright little
poem tine first we have seen from the
Rev. ]. +. Van Burkalow. We don't
intend to make it the subject of criti-
cism except to say, that its writer has
exhibited considerable ingenuity in
making five lines written IN trochalc
feet, rhyme in each verse. Any one
gifted even with poetic fire, will find 1t
a somewhat difficult task to preserve
unity of thought with good sense, and
have each terminal word of line
rhyme with four other lines. To do
this the Reverend writer has asserted
the poets license and coined a new
word "mldal." He intends it of course
as the adjectival termination for the
substantive Midas. We need not apollo
gize tor his coinage. Other writer's do
the same. And besides isn't the En-
glish language constantly growing In
volume and wealth OF expression
Necessity knows no law, but creates
many new words of its own both in prose
and verse. We gladly give place to
this little poetic bantling, and hope to
welcome others in the future.

WssIt Suicide or Accident?

New YORK, Jan. 81 Young Ray
mon Belmont, son of August Belmont,

morning in the shooting gallery in the
basement of the residence on Fifth ave-
nue.. Young Belmont had returned
from dinner considerably flushed and
made preparations to shoot gold collar
button out OF the hand of Leonard Behr,
night Waterman, W 'th whom the young
man was acquainted. lie had asked
Behr to shut the door and windows, SO
that his father might not be disturbed by
the noise. and when the Waterman
turned to obey the request he heard re-
ptrt. Turning around he saw Raymond
fall to the tirur, having been shot through
the head. Physicians, who were rapidly
summoned could do nothing. The cor
oner will leave the question as to whe-
ther the death was accidental or suicidal
to jury. Personally he is convinced
that the shooting was accidental.

This is fast age tor newspapers.
The fast special tram run by the New
York Herald over the Pennsylvania
Railroad every morning is one of the
most remarkable enterprises OF modern
journalism. Le@ving Jersey City at
half past two o clock, it arrives in Phil
adelphia at 4 70, beating the time OF
the Chicago Limited by eight minutes.
Resuming its journey, it dasheS over
the Philadelphia, Wilmington and Bal
timore road at speed which often
reaches the rate of sixty miles an hour.
At last it reaches the National Capital,
not only in time to supply the breakfast
tables of that city with the Metropolitan
news of the day, but also IN season to
connect with the morning mails for the
Southern States, which it ultimately
reaches on all average "a hours ahead
of any other northern paper.
